Well, that was a fun day. Yesterday saw the house awakened early to prepare for the the America's Nominee announcement and the picking of the POV players. Everyone gathered in the living room and watched as the faces flashed on the screen. Then finally the image froze on Danielle and she was America's Nominee. Jason's side of the house looked stunned, (especially Danielle and Neeley) and then the POV players were picked and Alex and Justin were the picks. The two sides then retreated to their turf, upstairs in the HOH room for the girls and Scott, and to the London bedroom for the Late Night Jamboree.
Danielle lay crying in the London bedroom while Neeley paced the floor cursing. Justin looked shocked and Kryssie just stared ahead in disbelief. They never seriously considered the possibility that one of them could be America's Nominee. That kind of derailed their momentum a bit,
Meanwhile upstairs, a wild celebration broke out among Scott's group as they finally had a chance to get someone from the other side out. It took three HOH's, but finally they could get a victory. Some quick head counting of the photos on the board in Scott's room showed that no matter what, someone on the other side of the house would be leaving. Scott really wants Shane out so to make that happen they need to have someone other than Danielle win the POV and use it.
Soon it was time for the POV comp. Scott announced the POV would be the double POV where there would be two winners. It was a puzzle comp where two players would go head to head against one another. Jason's side decided to get out Alex and Scott as quickly as possible then play head to head for the POV's to take down two of their players and hopefully talk Scott into putting up Shelby as the replacement. In the first round Kryssie went first and chose to compete against Alex. This turned out to be a very bad choice as Alex flew through the puzzle and won easily. Kryssie was eliminated. Danielle then picked Scott. This was a good choice by Danielle as Scott was horrible and Danielle won easily. Neeley was up next and she chose Alex again and once again Alex flew past her and won easily.
We were now down to our final three and with two POV's in play whoever lost the next round would be eliminated.Danielle was dancing and celebrating knowing that with Justin picking the next player she'd be safe as he'd pick Alex. Then Justin picked Danielle. This surprised Danielle the teensiest bit. As she took her spot opposite Justin you could feel the rage coming from her. She then assumed Justin must be planning to throw the POV to her, but that would give Alex a POV and it made no sense to Danielle. So the final round starts with Justin against Danielle and Justin flies through the comp and races around to hit the buzzer beating Danielle and winning the second POV giving the POV's to Alex and Justin.
Danielle ran off the stage and crouched down in tears behind the sofa, sobbing hysterically as Shane tried to console her. The house was reopened and Danielle ran in and pushed the call light on the DR door several times but never gets it unlocked, so she then runs to the London bedroom and climbs under the covers sobbing hysterically. Jason, Scott and Shane meanwhile are having a quick smoke outside before rejoining the house. The girls head back upstairs to celebrate yet another win and Jason's crew tries to deal with Danielle.
Jason's side of the house pretty quickly decides they can live without Danielle and that she's more trouble than she's worth for them, so bye bye Danielle. Meanwhile upstairs another quick vote count ensures Scott that his side can vote out Shane no matter what and the girls confirm that they will. They then suggest to Scott that letting the house think they're voting out Danielle might be the best strategic move for them as that way Jason's side will vote to evict Danielle, but Shane will leave and Danielle will be isolated knowing her side of the house turned on her and voted her out. They think that will rattle Jason's side before the HOH comp. This is agreed to. So, the plan is to let Jason's side think they're voting out Danielle while they're really targeting Shane.
Danielle finally dried the tears enough to look up Justin and asked what the heck he was thinking. He explained that he wasn't thinking and just picked her to go up against. She explained that she'd have been safe if he picked Alex and he was like, "Oh yeah, I didn't even think of that." That didn't make her much happier.
Scot and Alex, concerned about their immediate safety since Scott can't play in the next HOH comp as an outgoing HOH and Alex will be handicapped as a result of her punishment in the last POV comp decided to make a deal for safety for this coming week where they team up with Jason, Justin and Neeley (the three biggest comp threats from the other side with Shane leaving this week and Danielle a bit distracted) for safety in a new alliance. Justin and Jason were fine with this, but they weren't sure Neeley would go along. (I suspect this is a one week only deal where Scott, Alex and their side weren't really targeting those three this coming week anyway, but needed some safety. I'm not sure either side will follow up on the deal, but it's a good tactical move on both sides.)
Today we'll have the POV ceremony where Justin will use one of the POV's to save Kryssie and Scott will put up Shane as the replacement. Then Alex will pocket her POV and the ceremony will end leaving Shane, Danielle and Neeley as the nominees for eviction this week. Scott and Alex through their maneuvering will likely be safe if anyone from their side wins HOH, or if Jason, Justin, or Neeley and even likely Danielle wins HOH from the other side. Their only real risk is a Kryssie win and that's unlikely. Even if Kryssie won, she'd likely consult Jason and Justin as to what to do and they'd likely protect Scott and Alex. Neeley is still an issue for Scott and Alex as she vowed to put up everyone on the other side of the house and get them out if she won HOH after finding out America's Nominee, but it's hard to nominate five people when you can only nominate two.
With the help of America's Care Package and America's Nominee, Shane will now be leaving. He's not happy about this as he doesn't want to leave at the hands of Scott. Had Shane stayed true to his original alliance he'd be safe, but backstabbing two of your own alliance in the first two weeks tends to make you expendable. With Shane gone the next HOH comp will come down to a handicapped Alex, Shelby, Morgan, and Whitney competing against Kryssie, Neeley, Jason, Justin, and Danielle. Assuming the handicap is serious, then it's largely Shelby, Morgan and Whitney against the rest. That's a pretty strong trio for both physical and mental comps, but they're outnumbered and the other side now has to play and can't count on America giving them the game. This next HOH will be huge. A win by Alex's side could really help them a ton with both Alex and Scott then able to compete again the following week. I'm pretty sure we'll see Shelby playing hard this week. She knows she's a big target for the other side and she likely wants to take out a big target or two. A Shelby win could see Jason and Justin as the nominees. She tentatively felt out the idea of backdooring Jason this week, but Scott immediately shut it down.
So later today we'll have the POV ceremony where Justin will likely take down Kryssie. Scott will then put up Shane. The only way things could backfire would be if Alex has to use her POV first and she pockets it, then Justin also pockets his leaving Shane off the block and Danielle, Kryssie and Neeley as the nominees. Neeley might then become the target for eviction this week over Danielle since Jason and Justin told Scott how they don't know if they can control Neeley. They might let the house think Danielle's the target, but vote out Neeley, or they could just go ahead and vote out Danielle. I'm pretty sure Kryssie would not be happy with Justin pocketing the veto after promising to use it on her. No mater what though, someone from Jason's side of the house is leaving this week. Most likely Shane.
Paul the runner up of BB 18 will be hosting the HOH comp on Wednesday night. That could be interesting. Paul's not the most stable of hosts possible, so we'll have to see how that works out. I suspect he'll have Pablo in tow. Alex and Scott will likely be thrilled by this and could finally learn who won BB 18.
